[ Congratulations - that does get a small snort out of Robby. ]
Wanna share second place awards? [ He scrunches his nose, head tipping to the side slightly as he thinks on it. ] I don't know -- I know there's no All Valley here, but I'm kinda disappointed I can't try again for that first. But I'm alright that I lost.
[ Because it's not the last match he's thinking about. It's just disappointing when he remembers he's lost his chances at that particular tourney.
(Then again, that's pretty much a thing of his, isn't it.) ]
Still there is a sparkle of pride in his eyes. Even if there is a faint dip in his smile as he remembers he gave his second place trophy to someone else here.]
I don't have the trophy anymore. But that just means we can make more room for yours. Second place is nothing to be ashamed of. You did good. Twice.
[He taps his fingers against the table in thought briefly.]
And we might not have the All Valley. But I hosted a tournament here back in the spring last year. If I host it again you can always try your luck there.
[ It's a strange feeling to remember his tournaments; both of them, with each inspiring a different if similar response. Both of them with a strive to prove himself to someone, but the latest seeming such a waste.
Robby looks down at his plate to the eaten food, the idea of entering a tournament here. ]
Yeah, well. You have a student, uh -- a Rose? She wants to enter if you ever do it again to rep her new girlfriend, Snow. I don't know if I have as good of a reason as that. [ He smiles, paints it half as a joke, but half as true.
But this is a good time to bring this up, isn't it? Robby rests his hands on the table, one arm folded along the edge. ]
But speaking of karate, that's actually the reason I wanted to speak to you.
